The project, implemented by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Association of Gia Canh Commune, aims to create a destination for youth union members (YUMs) and young people to explore Ho Chi Minh’s life, revolutionary career and moral philosophy. This initiative helps youth better understand and emulate the principles and practices of President Ho Chi Minh.

Since its establishment, the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space has made it significantly easier for YUMs to access books and materials on President Ho Chi Minh. Although the space occupies a modest 10-square-meter room, it is rich in useful information.

Nguyen Dang An, Deputy Secretary of Gia Canh Commune Youth Union, shared that the space includes bookshelves and cabinets displaying literature on Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, his life, and related political topics. Additionally, the Youth Union and Association have designed concise infographics summarizing his biography, revolutionary career and important milestones, making it easier for YUMs to remember key points.

One unique feature of the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space is the integration of QR codes for songs and works by President Ho Chi Minh. By scanning these codes with a smartphone, visitors can listen to melodies or access his writings.

Nguyen Thanh Hung, Secretary of Sub-Youth Union 2 in Gia Canh Commune, emphasized that understanding Ho Chi Minh's life, ideology and ethics is essential for youth leaders. This understanding helps them choose appropriate lessons to follow and boosts their confidence in communicating these values to YUMs. Since the space’s establishment, Hung frequently visits to read and also encourages others in his area to explore the valuable materials available.

According to Deputy Secretary Nguyen Dang An, the Youth Union's propaganda and education efforts include encouraging YUMs to study and follow Ho Chi Minh’s teachings. However, individual posts on these topics often get lost or overlooked, making it hard for YUMs to revisit or track information.

To address this, the Youth Union and Youth Federation of Gia Canh Commune created the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space as a youth project to preserve materials about President Ho Chi Minh. This space serves as a resource for officials, party members, YUMs and the general public to access information about Ho Chi Minh when needed.

To establish this project, the Youth Union and Association collected books about Ho Chi Minh, sourced reliable information online, and curated the content into an appealing and organized layout. To align with the current trends of digital transformation, they incorporated QR codes into songs and works by Ho Chi Minh for easy access. The space is located at the Cultural, Sports and Community Learning Center, a hub for cultural, artistic and sports activities.

During breaks or free time, visitors now have an additional option to explore and learn from the Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space instead of casual conversations.

After more than seven months of operation, the youth project has attracted many officials, Party members, YUMs and locals who come to learn about Ho Chi Minh's life, revolutionary career and significant contributions./.
